Heavy Metal Switch Grass (Panicum virgatum 'Heavy Metal')

Add bold structure and shimmering color to your landscape with Heavy Metal Switch Grass—a standout ornamental grass known for its strong upright form and striking blue-gray foliage. As the season progresses, its foliage takes on silvery tones that create a beautiful contrast against other perennials. In late summer, airy panicles of pink-tinged flowers rise above the foliage, adding movement and a soft, cloud-like texture.
 
This native, clump-forming grass is highly adaptable, thriving in full sun and a variety of soil types, including clay. It's also drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for modern landscapes, prairie-style plantings, and erosion control.
 
For year-round texture, vertical interest, and dependable performance, Heavy Metal Switch Grass is a powerful addition to any garden.
